QUITO - Petroecuador halted operations of its Trans-Ecuadorean Pipeline System on Wednesday after anti-austerity protests choked off production from some oil fields it uses for stock, the energy ministry said on Wednesday. The state-run company’s pipeline, which normally transports 360,000 barrels per day to the Pacific Coast, was shut down at 1 p.m. , the ministry said in a statement. It added it was weighing declaring force majeure on international contracts due to potential delays in deliveries.
